The LED Rose Garden at Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) in Seoul was a major attraction since last autumn. The 25,550 LED roses were set up as one of the exhibition to celebrate the first anniversary of DDP, encouraging continued support by the local communities to this new landmark of design and creativity.
The 25,550 roses are also symbolic to the 70th anniversary of the South Korea Independence Day (70 years x 365 days = 25,550). Meaningful, thoughtful and beautiful! Beauty is one of the key elements in art and design. The white roses are well made and the glow at night using LED lights have created a vast starlight field of roses. Each rose is planted independently on a real grass field. You don’t see any messy electric wires on the ground. The rose garden is set up on a slope, enabling visitors to get good view in every angle. Well thought out and excellent execution!
All roses are lit up from 6pm to 10pm every day, attracting many couples, families as well as tourists to take a walk and capture the lovely moment. Due to its popularity, the exhibition has been extended till 29 February 2016.
The 25,550 white LED roses were planted on real grass area in the outdoor grass field in 2014. 去年的展覽是在戶外一塊很大的草地上“種“滿25,550 朵白玫瑰。The flowers are well made. They look real except for the straight flower stem with no thorns. 玫瑰花的造型很像真，除了筆直無刺的花莖。The LED roses started to “glow” at 6pm. It’s spectacular! 到晚上六點，天開始暗，玫瑰花就開始亮起來，一大片兩萬五千多枝玫瑰，真的很瑰麗！I like the way they plant the exhibition: all roses are planted against the wall of DDP so you won’t be shooting photos with other people in the background. 我很喜歡展覽的安排，玫瑰花有兩邊都是靠東大門設計廣場的外牆，拍照時不會有人站在後面。Looking for a different angle, it looks like the sky is filled with glow-in-the-dark roses. Beautiful! 從不同的角度看，好像滿天都是閃亮的玫瑰花，很美！The roses were moved to a new location this year. While the roses are there, it is not as spectacular because there is a large stone platform and partition. Yet this exhibition will remain till 29 February 2016. Hurry up if you are keen to see this. 不知道什麼時候開始，玫瑰園被遷移到另外一塊地方。我覺得地點沒有之前那麼好，不是一大塊草地，中間有隔間和一個放行石臺，沒有玫瑰園浩瀚的感覺。儘管地方不同，展覽只會延到2016年2月29日，要看的還是要趕快！Walk closer, then you may cut out the big stone platform. There’s always a way to take a better photo. 走近一點，就可以把石臺裁走，要拍一張好些的照片是永遠有其他方法的。The original grass field is now recovering. 原來的草地在保養復原。
